Pros

good salary and some great colleagues

Cons

Appalling senior management. Appalling leadership, Tolerant of racism and misogyny. People were given opportunities becuase they had a special relationship with the director and not based on experience and capability.

Thank you for looking back at the years you've worked for our company in Best as Regulatory Affairs Specialist. We regret to hear about your experience with the senior management. It's clear that this has not been a positive one. The culture you describe is, of course, not the culture we strive for at Philips. We hope that we can encourage you to share your story via our Ethics line, so a formal investigation could be opened. You can find our Ethics line here: https://secure.ethicspoint.eu/domain/media/en/gui/100518/index.html. Thank you again for your review. We wish you all the best moving forward.

Pros

Philips still has good people, meaningful healthcare technology, and a strong brand name. Many employees care deeply about the customers, the products, and doing quality work.

Cons

The company culture has gone downhill. Management has become increasingly reliant on spreadsheet-driven decision making that often has little connection to real field conditions, employee workload, or customer impact. Priorities and goals change constantly, creating a desperate, reactive environment where employees are not given enough time to adjust before leadership shifts direction again. Morale suffers because teams are expected to execute against moving targets while leadership treats unrealistic planning as an execution problem.
